Monitor never leaves standby mode

I posted this in response to another thread, but after reading that original thread I realized our issues were different enough that I should probably post my own.
P4 2.6 (OEM heatsink/fan)
Antec Sonata Case (380w PSU)
1gb (matched pair of 512mb x 2) Kingston HyperX DDR 400 RAM
MSI FX5600 AGP card
Maxtor Diamondmax 120gb SATA
Viewsonic af70+ monitor
I have checked and re-checked all connections.  All fans on the motherboard are running when power is turned on.  I do *not* have the keyboard or mouse connected.
The monitor, however, never leaves standby mode.
I've tested the monitor and the AGP card in another machine and they work fine.  I've tried the new monitor in the new machine with 2 other AGP cards that I know work, and my result is the same... the monitor never leaves standby mode.
Do I not have something connected properly?  My first thought was the AGP card was bad, but I've tested it in another machine and it works perfectly.  My second thought was the AGP slot was bad, but something like that is so rare that I find it hard to believe.
I'd rather not ship the motherboard back and wait 3 weeks for a replacement if I don't have to.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, didn't realize I was spelling your name incorrectly.  It was simply a typo, nothing intentional.
I do appreciate the help though.

  • STB Entering Standby Mode By Itself

    Every few hours when our two televisions are not in use the SD STBs enter standby mode their own and display a screensaver.  The screensaver has been repeatedly been recorded by our two TiVo DVRs instead of programs.  The STBs are using system 1.7
    Can the STBs be set to NEVER enter standby mode?  Would requesting new STBs make any difference?
    This problem was reported by other users in April but no solution was ever posted. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, we too have had this intermittent problem for weeks now!  A new FIOS STB did not solve the problem. 
     I think I found the solution but had to leave for Christmas Holidays before I could prove it!
    I believe the problem lies with the connection between the two; TIVO and FIOS.
    The issue:  your Standard Definition TIVO box is trying to record High Definition channels.
    The signal is unable to complete so it drops and the FIOS box shuts off.
    You most likely have not deselected the High Definition channels from your TIVO channel list AND have TIVO suggestions turned on.  TIVO suggestions typically run when nothing else is set to record (often late night hours).
    Try the following and please let me know how you make out!  I've been searching the web for days and have seen this problem repeatedly but no viable solution.
    Go to:
    1. Tivo Central
    Messages & Settings
    Settings
    Channels
    Channel List
    ...Page down and deselect each HD channel
    2.  Messages & Settings
    Settings
    Recording
    Tivo Suggestions...change to No
    I am not sure if only using option 1 above will work, but you could try it if you prefer to use TIVO Suggestions.
    You might also want to deselect channels that are not on your cable line-up.
    The reason I think this is the problem; on our first 'standby' program recorded overnight, the initial split second on the recording was a valid channel-the picture was visible.  As soon as the TIVO Suggested recording changed channels to the HD channel, the picture dropped, the Not-subscribed HD message appeared then the Standby message came up.
    Good Luck, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and let me know how you make out!

  • D1320 not leaving standby

    I have an older Deskjet D1320 that doesn't see much use. We usually have to replace the ink cartrifges in between uses it's so rare.
    This last time however it's stopped leaving standby mode. Power button light is blinking away so it has power, but, nothing I could think of is making it get to the point where it wakes up.
    I've checked the connection in the back and ran windows' troubleshooter but nothing helped. (There was no 'is your printer stuck in standby' question.)
    Computer is custom built with Windows XP Professional connected to the printer via USB.

    Hi @Fushigidane 
    I understand your D1320 is becoming stuck in standby mode.
    Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable fro 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in.
    Also, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause.   Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector

  • How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

    How can i extend the battery life of my iphone 4s? when i left 50% it in standby mode when i saw in 5hours it drains to 5% i saw 45%, i thought when i leave the phone the percent is still the same. whant am i goin to do?

    I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
    Thank you very much!
    Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
    -Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
    I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
    I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

  • My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode

    My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode. I have to close the screen and wait a few seconds and re-open it in order for it to come back on.
    Sometimes it immediately goes back into standby mode again after closing and reopening the screen. I have checked the battery level everytime, and it has never been below 40% when this occurs. Is this a Mountain Lion issue?

    Well I fixed my problem.
    I took it into the Apple store. Even without the other two monitors they were able to recreate the problem. One symptom (I had) was that one of the Hot Corners was set to Disable screen saver. If you then put your cursor there, you'd go into screen saver mode. Change the setting to another corner and the problem follows you there.
    The Apple person at the Genius bar logged out as me and back in as test and same problem. He tried some stuff and finally said I needed to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (Lion). I'd only had the machine for 12 hours and had just migrated my data to it, so I didn't mind doing that. I did it at home.
    Problem solved.
    BUT... then I reinstalled the driver for my EVGA UV Plus 19 (most current drivers) and bingo problem back. Uninstall. Problem gone. I'm now using mini display port to DVI for one monitor and HDMI for the other I think the machine is a bit warmer this way (versus using a USB to the EVGA device) but at least it's not sleeping all the time. Someone might say "it (the heat) is your imagination" or something else. Or someone might say "use the other thunderbolt port for another mini-display port to DVI" but I need that for the LAN... c'est la vie.
    Maybe I'll write to evga and see what they say. Maybe they'll fix their driver and/or Apple will fix it.

  • 7.3.2.6 crashes when coming out of standby mode

    Has anyone else seen this problem with iTunes 7.3.2.6?
    It crashes when coming out of standby mode. There is an error report I can send to Microsoft, but since it's an Apple program, I never send it.
    Using standby was OK with iTunes 7.2.

    Okay. Let's try getting a fresh one through to Roy.
    If the log has been "live" for a while, info about every crash of any description will have been being added to it (with my Morrowind crashing on a daily basis, i once found a DrWatson log on belladonna that was over a GB in size). So it'll be easier for him to work through a log with just one crash on it.
    Will run through my standard instructions just so i don't forget anything. (Sorry, I know you're up to speed on this sort of thing, no offense meant.)
    Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
    drwtsn32 -i
    And hit return.
    This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
    prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
    Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and send it as an attachment to this email address: [email protected]
    In the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
    - A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
    - The username you are using in the thread
    - The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
    - the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
    - A concise description of the issue you are seeing
    - The exact text of the error message you are seeing

  • Samsung Smart TV Remote and Standby Mode

    Hi All - A few months ago I got a Samsung Smart TV that came with a pretty nice remote. It really can control almost all aspects of the FiOS service, but there are a few commands I cannot figure out how to get it to send to the FiOS STB. 
    First off, when I power on the TV, the STB is still in Stanby mode. It asks for me to "Press Menu to Watch ...". I cannot figure out how to get the Samsung remote to send that command or to disable standby mode on the STB. There is no menu button on this remote that's not TV-specific. 
    Second, I can't figure out how to bring up the full guide using the remote. By pressing the "up" direction on the four-way button, I get some smaller version of a guide, but I would prefer to see the standard full screen guide. 
    Finally, is there a way to get to the On Demand and DVR menus using the Samsung remote? 
    Anway, that's the the scoop. Most other featuers (DVR, etc) work pretty well. 
    The remote I'm using is a RMCTPF1AP1 and the STB is running version 1.9.7 and build 19.45. It's a QIP7232. 
    Thanks in advance for any guidance on getting this working. 
    Dave

    I'm not sure if you are turning the STB off or if the idle timer is doing it.
    No reason to turn the STB off as it doesn't save any energy.
    So leaving it on would alleviate one issue.

  • Computer enters sleep mode shortly after leaving sleep mode. Defect?

    I have a problem. It's not a serious problem, but since it seems to be hardware related it might cause problem in the future.
    It's pretty simple. Let's say I fold the computer screen down and leave the computer in sleep mode. If I then fold it up again it will automatically enter sleep mode once again 25-30 seconds after waking up. It doesn't matter what I do. I can be completely passive or open any app and move the cursor as much as I like. After roughly 30 seconds the screen turns black and I have to press a key to wake it up.
    It never enters sleep mode any other time if I don't choose so, it's always after being in sleep mode already. And it happens 80-90% of the time, but I have not noticed a pattern for when it doesn't.
    Naturally my settings are in order. I just updated it today and no difference after one attempt with the new OS version.
    Any ideas?

    Sleep.
    Shutting down a Mac is never required. It is best to let it sleep, unless you are planning to not use it for a period of time considerably longer than a few days.

  • Should Apple TV be put into standby mode when not in use?

    Anyone,
    When I am done watching Apple TV, should I put it into standby mode or leave it on? Just want to take of my new favorite toy!!!!

    I tend to leave them on all the time - standby mode isn't particularly low power as lots of things are still active.

  • Standby Mode - Does it work on Late 2012 MacBook Pro (non-Retina)

    I have read many articles today and I remain a little confused.  I have seen the Apple discussion at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4392 regarding "Standby Mode", but I appear to have limited progress.
    Can the community verify if "Standby Mode" (controlled by pmset) be used on a late 2012 MacBook Pro.  This is a model without the Retina display, however, when I do pmset -g... I do see standby in the display (as seen below) which implies it should be active.
    When I look at pmset -g I do see the standby line item, but if I set to "1", the unit still appears to not want to enter true hibernation.  I have hibernationmode set to 3 so that true hibernation only enables after the standbydelay period that is defined.  Obviously, if I set hibernationmode to 25, a true hibernate starts immediately, but I don't really want that, I am looking for the delay function that standby enables.
    I have reset the SMC and currently have the following pmset conditions (modified for testing)
    Battery Power:
    lidwake              1
    autopoweroff         1
    autopoweroffdelay    14400
    standbydelay         60

    Also, an auxilary question.  Can anyone explain the autopoweroff and autopoweroffdelay settings?  They appear to undocumented in manpages and can not locate any info on the web.

    Thanks for the input Michael.
    The thing that started this, is the new Late 2012 MacBook Pro simply uses much more power in "sleep" mode than what I experienced on my old Late 2007 White MacBook.  Every night, the "sleep" mode would result in almost a drain of the battery and the result is that I was unneccessary cycling the battery. With no OS revisions to address this, I have changed the defaults to enable hibernate for both the charging and battery mode.
    The strange thing about this is that even to get a true hibernation in battery mode I have to unplug all USB devices or the device will not hybernate.  Again, never had to do this on the old White MacBook and the power usage at night was very small.
    This works for now, but I think a device should sleep with very little (less than 4%) power loss when power is disabled.
    Thanks again for the input.  Here are the current settings.

  • How to tell if Active/active or Active/Standby mode is configured?

  • Can't record when box is in standby mode and other...

    Once my youview box has been put into standby it will not turn on with just one press of the remote but if I press the button 10 to 15 times it will usually come on after 4 to 5 minutes. during this time, the remote will not switch my Sony Bravia tv on but it will shortly after the youview box comes on. To compound the frustrations, I will usually get an IPC6023 message on the tv screen telling me that the channel I'm tuned to is unavailable but the channel is patently available because once I have pressed the ok button three times the channel plays with perfect picture and sound. 
    Also any recordings scheduled whilst the box is in standby mode either fail or just do not record. I presume this is because of the IPC6023 problem.
    One other thing. I am at the moment watching the tv but the youview box is showing the mauve standby light rather than the blue lights which should indicate it is on and also the recording light is on despite the fact that it is not currently recording any programmes, I presume the recording light is on because the box thinks it is still trying to record a failed programme which was set to record whilst the box was in standby mode.
    I have checked my broadband and cables and they do not seem to be the problem
    BT has supplied me with  a 2nd Youview DTRT2100 box and this has exactly the same problems. I changed the hdmi cables and the Ethernet cables after finding this same problem occurred on the 2nd box but there is no difference.
    I have now had 3 Cube engineers visit to check my problem but all they do is a factory reset, deleting any recordings that I have managed to make while the box is not in standby mode and then leaving with the problem unsolved, Now that I’ve received a replacement box which has exactly the same problems, I do not want to go through the whole rigmarole again

    Hi Colin6443,

  • Monitor goes into Standby for no apparent reason

    System Spec:
    AMD 2800+ CPU
    MSI KT6V LSR A DDR 400 Motherboard
    1GB RAM
    ATI Radeon Sapphire 9600XT 256MB DDR AGP
    Windows XP SP2
    During normal PC use, the system switches to standby mode for no apparent reason.  The leds and fans are still running on the PC.
    The BIOS settings for power save are switched off.
    There is no pattern, sometimes it happens quickly after boot and sometimes it takes a while.
    Can anyone suggest what is wrong?

    Take a look at this thread, I to had the same problem with the monitor turning off but the computer continue to run. Solved it by the introduction of the Enermax from using the ThermalTake that had 18A on the +12V rail. Hope it helps.
